The war of the 'S'

Safiullin and Shelton have curiously already clashed once. It was in a challenger final in Chicago. And already, the Russian had won in 3 sets 😉.

Great start for our friend Shelton who wins an easy match on paper, but a little less so on the field. Always his ogives on serve and on the forehand, and sometimes a little messy with very weird choices, the Yank is true to himself. After a long journey and in atmospheres he doesn't know, well done Ben. But now, you have a lot ahead of you. Safiullin at the moment is simply playing top 20. It's perfect in attitude, it's confidence, it turns out well and it starts early. With his extraordinary service quality, Ben Shelton can take Roman into tight sets that he can of course win. But the Russian's experience, confidence and benchmarks in China give him the advantage in important points. I advise you to read the summary of their previous match on our app to try to get a better idea of ​​their state of form at the moment.
